Oh, The Baking.....

We have a Victorian Tea Party to attend on Tuesday, so we've taken loads of books out of the library, perused them all a few times, and gone through the painful process of narrowing it down to one choice each! This took us right up until Tuesday to complete, and it was the least-Mummy-interference bulk baking that has ever happened in this house! All I actually did was help L4 to read the recipe, take hot things out of the oven, check the consistency of dough/icing/ganache/etc. - oh, and *all* the cleaning up!!!!!!!!

A10 settled for Millionaire's Shortbread, and the book didn't have a picture to compare the results with, but it was a shortbread base, topped with caramel and then melted dark chocolate:



L9 went for the Spring Flower Baskets:





H7 decided on Baby Shower Bears:




And L4 wanted holly-leaf-shaped Butter Cream Sandwiches:
